"I am sorry, but can we postpone our plan to see a new house?"
Nifuji apologized as he faced Eri and Mayuri.
The weekend they had planned to seek a new place had to be postponed to the next weekend.
Why did he do this?
It was because Chika planned to take a trip to the north!
Yup, a trip alone, a single young woman, without even a single bit of preparation!
No preparations!
Nothing at all except for money!
Chika would take a random trip to the northern area of Japan!
Crazy!
When he read Chika's chat, his eyes widened in disbelief at how reckless she was!
Could you hesitate for a moment?
While Nifuji wasn't sure where Chika would go, he knew that she would go to the northern area.
Yes, frankly, he knew that he might be thinking too much, especially when Chika was an adult, and all of her decisions had no need to be discussed with another, as she was free to do whatever she wanted as long as she didn't break the law, yet even so, he was worried.
Naturally, he had to explain everything to Eri and Mayuri, so that they wouldn't get dissatisfied or keep their feelings bottled up, especially since he was sure that they had been looking forward to this trip, but all of a sudden, he had to stop this trip because of Chika.
Part of him was worried, but he was also a little helpless and angry with her.
Why couldn't Chika make a little more preparation?
Yet, he also knew that, except for the weekend, he didn't think that there was any possible time for him to follow Chika on this random trip.
More importantly, if he stopped her, he knew that the heat would stop!
Frankly, he was surprised when he saw how many people had answered Chika's questionnaire, but when Chika told him she had a mangaka teacher with 20,000 or more followers, he understood why there were so many people.
The people on the internet, while some might be okay, in most cases, no, in most cases, many of them were quite "extreme."
If Chika somehow didn't even go on a trip after all the trouble that she had made, Nifuji could imagine that even if the numbers were low, some people would talk badly about her.
If Chika were like him, who could silently endure and continue to move on, it would be okay, but he knew that she was sensitive and wasn't that also the reason why she wanted to disappear?
The pressure from the ambiguity of her career, from not being able to see a secure future with her dream, and then, all of a sudden, many people mocked her, telling her she was a failure.
While Nifuji could try to cheer her up and raise her confidence, or even take care of her even if she didn't work, he felt like she wouldn't become the same person she was before.
This was her only chance to maintain that positivity, and this time, if she failed, Nifuji was afraid that she would be like everyone else, who stayed in the herd.
Nifuji didn't think that it was wrong since living like everyone else would gain inner peace, as people would lack any troubles, but for Chika, who didn't wish for such a life, he was afraid that it would be a torment for her. More importantly, she was also still young.
Yes, she was an adult, but she was just a university student, so she was still in the process of understanding her surroundings, the space, the society, and everything, which were things that all adults had to face.
So, because of that, he thought to accompany her, but he had to say that the reactions of Eri and Mayuri were so different from what he had imagined.
"Sure." 2x
"...really?" Nifuji looked at the two strangely, especially when Chika was still a beautiful young woman.
"Do you think we will stop you?"
"It's for your family, right? Then, you should go."
'Family...'
Nifuji sighed inwardly, thinking that he was so perverted, yet when he saw that Chika could trigger his system, part of him thought of making her his woman, but their words quickly woke him up since Chika had been taken care of by him from a child, so how could he see her that way?
Yes, Chika was an adult who had grown into a beautiful young woman, and even though their relationship was like that of siblings, they had no blood relationship at all, so why didn't Mayuri and Eri have such a reaction?
"By the way, how old is she again?"
"18."
"So young!" 2x
"....." Nifuji.
He stared at the two speechlessly, since whether Eri and Mayuri were still young, too, at 22.
"Aren't you two young, too?"
"Well..." 2x
The two were in silence, thinking that their age wasn't that much different from Chika, but they had entered the society, so naturally, while they couldn't say that they had experienced a lot of things, as this was just their beginning, they felt that they had become more mature than Chika, who had just been trying to fumble around to see the reality.
Still, without a doubt, they knew well that Chika needed Nifuji on her side, especially when they saw their man's preparation.
"...is that all?"
"Don't you want to prepare more?"
When they saw what Nifuji had prepared, which was just about clothes, a plastic bag, money, a wallet, a smartphone, and nothing else.
Yup, nothing else, like medicines, or all other things, it was simple, and nothing else.
"Now, you understand why I am worried, right?"
"...." 2x
If they were worried about Nifuji, who was an adult, then what about Chika, who should have prepared the same things, but she was younger and also a woman?
While it sounded sexist, a man was safer than a woman, especially on a faraway trip.
"I will go back as soon as possible. I will buy some souvenirs."
"Um~!" 2x
As they were kissing, they hugged each other for a while, but before he left, he said, "You can use the car, and go out together."
Instead of staying at home, being bored, and spending their time doing nothing, they might as well have gone out, as he went on a trip to the northern part of Japan.
"Just focus on accompanying your little sister."
"Also, don't forget to take pictures, okay?"
"...."
Was it his imagination, but he felt like they emphasized the word "little sister" a lot?
Regardless, Nifuji agreed to send them pictures of his trip. "Okay, I will send you the pictures to the group later."
"Yes!" 2x
As Nifuji left, Mayuri looked at Eri and asked, "Aren't you worried that he will sleep with that woman?"
"Well, it should be fine."
"..." Mayuri.
"I let him sleep with you, too, after all."
"....." Mayuri.
"What is important is that we're his home, and the others are just his playthings."
"Well, that's true."
Yup, instead of getting jealous and causing him trouble, fighting him in many moments, they just wanted to stay like this, as everything was peaceful and comfortable.
As for the others?
It didn't matter as Nifuji was just so charming, and he was also capable, so they had a certain tolerance toward him, especially when he wasn't so naughty that he would sleep with all of the women that he knew.
He was so choosy, after all.
Still, even so, he was so gentle, after all, and because of that, even if he was like this, they wouldn't leave him, and would stay by his side despite his flaws.
Why did they do so despite having many who fawned on them?
Well, it was clear that despite everything, whether it was his wealth, face, and also cock, all of those factors were important, but his gentleness and care were the reason why they fell for him so hard, and they felt like even if something might not have changed before, as Nifuji took an intiative to be there for Chika, who needed the most, it would be natural for her to fall for him, too.
"Onii-chan!"
As Chika saw his handsome figure, she waved her hand excitedly, thinking of their first trip together.
